Default rim needed

I have a C4 but when I bought it it had C5 rims on it. Need to replace on of the back 18" rim. Has a slow leak on the inner flat surface. Any ideas on where to even look, haven't had any luck.

I've got a full set that are doing nothing but sitting in boxes in my attic. Not one scratch on any of them. Bought some C6 replicas and bigger tires to replace them.
Make offer if anyone can use them...

That rim is chrome plated so you'll need to find another chrome one to match the other three. Some of the major vendors may sell you one rim, or put a wanted to buy post in the C5 Parts for Sale section and see if anyone has one they'll sell.

Well hell. From what I gathered from others I see why they're in the attic. Don't mean that in a smart-assed way at all...

Got to give it shifting correctly....... something else.
